Along with ending 1970s stagflation and destroying the Soviet Empire, President Ronald Reagan saved the planet from global warming, which would make him the greatest president ever. The article was based on a new scientific paper that suggests that &#x22;ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halocarbons caused global warming&#x22; and not carbon dioxide. Thanks to President Reagan, use of these chemicals were phased out by the 1987 Montreal Protocols, leading to the current flattening out of global temperatures that have the warming alarmists so puzzled.Yahoo Voiceshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3028601/posts#commentFri, 7 Jun 2013 18:06:23 GMTObama Administration to Ban Asthma Inhalers Over Environmental Concernshttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2782829/posts

Beginning January 1, 2009, millions of asthma sufferers will no longer legally be able to obtain the low-cost albuterol inhalers that enable them to breathe. The inhalers have been outlawed by FDA regulations under the UN Montreal Protocol on Ozone Deplation.&#xA0; Few things are more terrifying than being smothered, yet millions of Americans who suffer from asthma and other respiratory ailments experience this sensation on a regular basis. For many it is not just an unpleasant and debilitating experience, but a life-threatening one. For decades, these sufferers have received emergency relief from albuterol metered-dose inhalers (MDIs).

A federal ban on ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), to conform to the Clean Air Act, is, ironically, affecting 22.9 million people in the United States who suffer from asthma, says Scientific American. Generic inhaled albuterol -- the most commonly prescribed short-acting asthma medication that requires CFCs to propel it into the lungs -- will no longer be legally sold after December 21, 2008. As more patients see their prescriptions change and costs go up -- the reformulated brand-name alternatives can be three times as expensive, raising the cost to about $40 per inhaler -- many question why this ban must begin...ncpa.orghttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2062106/posts#commentFri, 15 Aug 2008 00:21:35 GMTHas Benedict XVI embraced the environmentalist movement?
